With Medicines, Pharmacists give them a shelf life for the Technicians to rotate.

This is the very same we as human beings should do with the people in our lives.

I’m talking about your front Row (your inner circle), the social circle and “everyone else” you have in your life.

If we exercise great relationships in our lives, they have a tendency to grow stronger. However, when we grow apart and have a lack of communication there’s a host of things that can weaken the bond such as envy, jealousy, lack of respect or just plain selfishness.

Of course unlike medicines we can work on keeping that bond strong, however sometime the inevitable happens… we all take different routes in life and we become distant, hence a need to move in another direction and accept others as a part of our social circle instead of one of the front row people.

Those are those relationships where even time and distance can’t severe the bond. I do have quite a few relationships like that and the reason is all in one word. LOVE! I love my friends and loved ones to a point where when mistakes or problems  occurs, we still try to look at the  bigger picture and love one another  through them. Everyone won’t fit on your top shelf, and there’s no need to try to fit them there. (You’ll stress and put yourself into an early grave trying to do so.)

We can always move a loved one (friend or family member) to another shelf before the relationship gets worse. This means you won’t ignore them, you may need to just give them room and you get yours while you both sort through some things. In your lives learn how to keep an eye on your shelves and ensure all people on top shelves (inner circle) is receiving the friendship they give you, (even with a simple call to say I love and appreciate you). When everyone is in their proper place there will be less confusion and disappointments in your life from what you expect from them.
